closes SF #514433
can now pass 'None' as the filename for the bsddb.*open functions,
and you'll get an in-memory temporary store.
docs are ripped out of the bsddb dbopen man page. Fred may want to
clean them up.
Considering this for 2.2, but not 2.1.

This adds the optional argument for str.strip
to unicode.strip too and makes it possible
to call str.strip with a unicode argument
and unicode.strip with a str argument.
- islink() now returns true for alias files
- walk() no longer follows aliases while traversing
- realpath() implemented, returning an alias-free pathname.
As this could conceivably break existing code I think it isn't a bugfix candidate.
test data: this test fails on WIndows now if universal newlines are
enabled (which they aren't yet, by default). I don't know whether the
test will also fail on Linux now.
SF bug #522264 reported by Evelyn Mitchell.
The code included a comment about "STAR STAR" which was translated
into the code as the bogus attribute token.STARSTAR. This name never
caused an attribute error because it was never retrieved. The code
was based on an old version of the grammar that specified kwargs as
two tokens ('*' '*'). I checked as far back as 2.1 and didn't find
this production.
The fix is simple, because token.DOUBLESTAR is the only token
allowed. Also update the grammar fragment in com_arglist().
XXX I'll bet lots of other grammar fragments in comments are out of
date, probably in this module and in compile.c.
Close a file before trying to unlink it, and apparently Cygwin needs
writes to an mmap'ed file to get flushed before they're visible.
Bugfix candidate, but I think only for the 2.2 line (it's testing
features that I think were new in 2.2).
Change type_get_doc (the get function for __doc__) to look in tp_dict
more often, and if it finds a descriptor in tp_dict, to call it (with
a NULL instance). This means you can add a __doc__ descriptor to a
new-style class that returns instance docs when called on an instance,
and class docs when called on a class -- or the same docs in either
case, but lazily computed.
I'll also check this into the 2.2 maintenance branch.
If a str or unicode method returns the original object,
make sure that for str and unicode subclasses the original
will not be returned.
This should prevent SF bug http://www.python.org/sf/460020
from reappearing.
PyNumber_InPlaceMultiply insisted on calling sq_inplace_repeat if it
existed, even if nb_inplace_multiply also existed and the arguments
weren't right for sq_inplace_repeat. Change this to only use
sq_inplace_repeat if nb_inplace_multiply isn't defined.
Bugfix candidate.
double call to AddressList.getaddrlist(), and /that/ always returns an
empty list for the second and subsequent calls.
Instead, instantiate an AddressList directly, and get the parsed
addresses out of the addresslist attribute.
which requires that if there are ehlo parameters returned with an ehlo
keyword (in the response to EHLO), the keyword and parameters must be
delimited by an ASCII space. Thus responses like
250-AUTH=LOGIN
should be ignored as non-conformant to the RFC (the `=' isn't allowed
in the ehlo keyword).
This is a bug fix candidate.
Add a method zfill to str, unicode and UserString and change
Lib/string.py accordingly.
This activates the zfill version in unicodeobject.c that was
commented out and implements the same in stringobject.c. It also
adds the test for unicode support in Lib/string.py back in and
uses repr() instead() of str() (as it was before Lib/string.py 1.62)
In DatagramRequestHandler.setup(), the wfile initialization should be
StringIO.StringIO(), not StringIO.StringIO(slf.packet).
Bugfix candidate (all the way back to Python 1.5.2 :-).
Highlights: import and friends will understand any of \r, \n and \r\n
as end of line. Python file input will do the same if you use mode 'U'.
Everything can be disabled by configuring with --without-universal-newlines.
See PEP278 for details.
Add optional arg to string methods strip(), lstrip(), rstrip().
The optional arg specifies characters to delete.
Also for UserString.
Still to do:
- Misc/NEWS
- LaTeX docs (I did the docstrings though)
- Unicode methods, and Unicode support in the string methods.
The test function's signature should be
test(methodname, input, output, *args)
but the output argument was omitted. This caused all tests to fail,
because the expected output was passed as the initial argument to the
method call. But because of the way the test works (it compares the
results for a regular string to the results for a UserString instance
with the same value, and it's OK if both raise the same exception) the
test never failed!
I've fixed this, and also cleaned up a few warts in the verbose
output. Finally, I've made it possible to run the test stand-alone in
verbose mode by passing -v as a command line argument.
Now, the test will report failure related to zfill. That's not my
fault, that's a legitimate problem: the string_tests.py file contains
a test for the zfill() method (just added) but this method is not
implemented. The responsible party will surely fix this soon now.
non-us-ascii character sets in headers and bodies. Some API changes
(with DeprecationWarnings for the old APIs). Better RFC-compliant
implementations of base64 and quoted-printable.
Updated test cases. Documentation updates to follow (after I finish
writing them ;).
Change pickling format for bools to use a backwards compatible
encoding. This means you can pickle True or False on Python 2.3
and Python 2.2 or before will read it back as 1 or 0. The code
used for pickling bools before would create pickles that could
not be read in previous Python versions.
ContentHandler. While GC will eventually clean up, it can take longer than
normal for applications that create a lot of strings (or other immutables)
rather without creating many containers.
This closes SF bug #535474.
PEP 285. Everything described in the PEP is here, and there is even
some documentation. I had to fix 12 unit tests; all but one of these
were printing Boolean outcomes that changed from 0/1 to False/True.
(The exception is test_unicode.py, which did a type(x) == type(y)
style comparison. I could've fixed that with a single line using
issubtype(x, type(y)), but instead chose to be explicit about those
places where a bool is expected.
Still to do: perhaps more documentation; change standard library
modules to return False/True from predicates.
457466: popenx() argument mangling hangs python
226766: popen('python -c"...."') tends to hang
Fixes argument quoting in w9xpopen.exe for Windows 9x. w9xpopen.exe
also never attempts to display a MessageBox when not executed
interactively.
Added test_popen() test. This test currently just executes
"python -c ..." as a child process, and checks that the expected
arguments were all recieved correctly by the child process. This
test succeeds for me on Win9x, win2k and Linux, and I hope it does
for other popen supported platforms too :)
